   Points won directly behind the serve:
   40 % Gulbis – 27 of 66
   37 % Tsonga – 28 of 74

   Gulbis became the first Top 20 Latvian in history improving his immaculate record in ATP finals to 5-0. In the tie-break he built a 4:0 advantage (had saved a mini-set point), in the 2nd set got the deciding break at 1-all. “It’s a really nice small record for me,” said Gulbis of his record in ATP World Tour finals. “5-0 is really good. I remember when I used to play Futures and Challengers, I think I lost maybe one or two finals. When I get into finals I really have good form and good confidence and play my best tennis. Today I was serving really well and in the tie-break I was feeling really, really confident. I’m very happy right now, but the reality is that you’re back on court in two days. I want to keep both feet on the ground. There’s a couple of big tournaments coming up. It’s been a great week, but I want to build on it. My long-term goal in tennis isn’t to be Top 20. It’s to be No. 1. Anything less than that wouldn’t make me fully satisfied. I don’t want to get to 30 years old, look back on my career and say I didn’t make something of it. Everybody’s looking for satisfaction in life, and my joy and happiness is based on my tennis career.”

   Gulbis’ route to his 5th title:
   2 Roberto Bautista 6-3, 5-7, 6-4
   Q Nicolas Mahut 6-3, 7-6(1)
   S Richard Gasquet 6-3, 6-2
   W Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 7-6(5), 6-4
